IEEE P2800.2 is currently being drafted. It defines recommended practices for conformity assessment procedures that should be used to verify plant-level conformity with IEEE Std 2800 for IBR plants interconnecting with a bulk power system. An IBR plant level conformity needs to be assessed not only during interconnection and commissioning processes but also during the lifetime of the plant. Post-commissioning conformity assessment is generally not being carried out for IBR plants today. This creates a reliability concern, since IBR plant model can only be truly validated and IBR plant performance evaluated on actual disturbance events. This webinar will cover the post-commissioning model validation, monitoring and periodic testing aspects proposed by IEEE P2800.2.
